Is It Possible

Is it possible
That so high debate,
So sharp, so sore, and of such rate,
Should end so soon and was begun so late?
Is it possible?

Is it possible
So cruel intent,
So hasty heat and so soon spent
From love to hate, and thence for to relent?
Is it possible?

Is it possible
That any may find
Within one heart so diverse mind,
To change or turn as weather and wind?
Is it possible?

Is it possible
To spy it in an eye
That turns as oft as chance on die?
The troth whereof can any try?
Is it possible?

It is possible
For to turn so oft,
To bring that lowest that was most aloft,
And to fall highest yet to light soft?
It is possible.

All is possible
Who list believe;
Trust therefore first, and after preve:
As men wed ladies by license and leave,
All is possible.

Thomas Wyatt was high in the court of Henry VIII. Both of them fell in love with Anne Boleyn. Wyatt was imprisoned in the Tower of London for his love and Henry married Boleyn. Wyatt was eventually released, but Anne was killed when she and the king were divorced. Later, Wyatt had a son and named him Thomas Wyatt the Younger. Like father, like son, Thomas Wyatt the younger was displeased by the actions of the governing body. Thomas Wyatt the Younger rebelled against Mary I of England, leading to him being beheaded.
